i dont really think that the job is really jinx. let's face it.. IF, the likes of world class managers like arsene wenger, jose mourihno, capello or even sir alex takes this job one day.. should they not play attractive football or even struggle in mid table, do u think we will really quickly dismiss these managers? NO. the fact that they are world class means quality is behind it. and seriously, besides sir bobby, not even keegan is world class.
espn sportscenter have highlighted that the avg lifespan of new manager since keegan was appointed is 27 months. besides relative success from keegan and sir bobby, everyone else flopped and was shipped off quite immediately. but u have to be realistic, those who failed are alws those that are not the fans no.1 or even no.5 manager!!
just wait to u see avram grant got the boot. he will be in the same fate as big sam. ousted out by fans.. just that he's survivng longer bcos he's a friend of the boss.
quite agree with you except the last statement.
Grant is not a friend, but just a puppet.
